BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION	'
BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION	'
	1.                                      BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
	The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Bunge Limited (Bunge), its subsidiaries and variable interest entities (VIEs) in which it is considered the primary beneficiary, and as a result, include the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of all entities over which Bunge exercises control. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act).  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) rules. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2012 has been derived from Bunge’s audited consolidated financial statements at that date.  Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2013.  The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2012, forming part of Bunge’s 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 1, 2013.
	Equity investments in which Bunge has the ability to exercise significant influence but does not control are accounted for by the equity method of accounting. Investments in which Bunge does not exercise significant influence are accounted for by the cost method of accounting. Intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated. Bunge consolidates VIEs in which it is considered the primary beneficiary and reconsiders such conclusion at each reporting period. An enterprise is determined to be the primary beneficiary if it has a controlling financial interest under GAAP, defined as (a) the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s business and (b) the obligation to absorb losses of or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE’s operations. Performance of that analysis requires the exercise of judgment. Where Bunge has an interest in an entity that has qualified for the deferral of the consolidation rules, it follows consolidation rules prior to January 1, 2010. Bunge’s consolidated financial statements include certain private equity and other investment funds (the consolidated funds) related to an asset management business acquired in 2012.  The consolidated funds are, for GAAP purposes, investment companies and therefore are not required to consolidate their majority owned and controlled investments. Rather, Bunge reflects these investments at fair value. In addition, certain of these consolidated funds have limited partner investors with investments in the form of equity, which are accounted for as noncontrolling interests and investments in the form of debt for which Bunge has elected the fair value option.
	Noncontrolling interests related to Bunge’s ownership of less than 100% are reported as noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The noncontrolling interests in Bunge’s earnings, net of tax, are reported as net (income) loss attributable to noncontrolling interests in the condensed consolidated statements of income.
	Discontinued Operations — In determining whether a group of assets disposed (or to be disposed) of should be presented as discontinued operations, Bunge makes a determination of whether the group of assets being disposed of comprises a component of the entity; that is, whether it has historical operations and cash flows that can be clearly distinguished (both operationally and for financial reporting purposes). Bunge also determines whether the cash flows associated with the group of assets have been significantly (or will be significantly) eliminated from the ongoing operations of Bunge as a result of the disposal transaction and whether Bunge has no significant continuing involvement in the operations of the group of assets after the disposal transaction. If these determinations can be made affirmatively, the results of operations of the group of assets being disposed of (as well as any gain or loss on the disposal transaction) are aggregated for separate presentation apart from the continuing operations of the Company for all periods presented in the condensed consolidated financial statements (see Note 4).

	Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements — In December 2011 and January 2013, Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) amended the guidance in ASC Topic 210, Balance Sheet. This amendment requires an entity to disclose both gross and net information about financial instruments that are eligible for offset in the statement of financial position and/or subject to a master netting arrangement or similar agreement. Bunge’s derivative assets and liabilities are presented on a gross basis in its condensed consolidated balance sheets. The adoption of this amendment on January 1, 2013 did not have a significant impact on Bunge’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
	In February 2013, FASB amended the guidance in ASC Topic 220, Comprehensive Income. This amendment requires an entity to disclose on a prospective basis the impact on income statement line items for significant items reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income during the period. The adoption of this amendment expanded Bunge’s disclosures in its condensed consolidated financial statements.
	New Accounting Pronouncements — In March 2013, FASB amended existing guidance of ASC Topic 830, Foreign Currency Matters  (Topic 830). This amended guidance is related to the transfer of currency translation adjustments from other comprehensive income into net income in certain circumstances. The amended guidance aims to resolve diversity in practice as to whether ASC Topic 810, Consolidation  or Topic 830 applies to the release of the cumulative translation adjustment into net income when a parent either sells a part or all of its investment in a foreign entity, or no longer holds a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets that is a nonprofit activity or a business.  Bunge will be required to apply the amended guidance prospectively.  The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on Bunge’s consolidated financial statements.
	In July 2013, the FASB issued guidance in ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes (Topic 740).  Topic 740 provided guidance regarding the presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exist at the reporting date. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on Bunge’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

	In January 2013, Bunge acquired two biodiesel facilities adjacent to existing Bunge facilities from its European biodiesel joint venture for $11 million in cash, net of cash acquired.  The preliminary purchase price allocation resulted in $4 million of inventory, $17 million of other current assets, $10 million of property, plant and equipment, $19 million of other current liabilities and $1 million of long-term deferred taxes.  There were no changes to the joint venture ownership or governance structure as a result of this transaction.

	On December 6, 2012, Bunge entered into a definitive agreement with Yara International ASA (Yara), under which Yara would acquire Bunge’s Brazilian fertilizer distribution business, including blending facilities, brands and warehouses, for $750 million in cash.  As a result of the transaction, which closed on August 8, 2013, Bunge will no longer have significant ongoing cash flows related to the Brazilian fertilizer business or any significant ongoing participation in the operations of this business.  Bunge received cash proceeds of the Brazilian real equivalent of $750 million upon closing the transaction, resulting in recognition of a gain of $148 million ($112 million net of tax) which is included in discontinued operations in our condensed consolidated statements of income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013. Included in the gain are approximately $7 million of transaction costs incurred in connection with the divestiture and $41 million release of the cumulative translation adjustment associated with the disposed business.
	The results of the Brazilian fertilizer distribution business and the tax impact are reported in discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 and are summarized as follows:

TRADE STRUCTURED FINANCE PROGRAM	'
TRADE STRUCTURED FINANCE PROGRAM	'
	5.                                      TRADE STRUCTURED FINANCE PROGRAM
	Bunge engages in various trade structured finance activities to leverage the value of its trade flows across its operating regions. These activities include a program under which a Bunge entity generally obtains U.S. dollar-denominated letters of credit (LCs) based on an underlying commodity trade flow from financial institutions, as well as foreign exchange forward contracts and time deposits denominated in the local currency of the financial institution counterparties, all of which are subject to legally enforceable set-off agreements. The LCs and foreign exchange contracts are presented within the line item “Letter of credit obligations under trade structured finance program” on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The net return from activities under this Program, including fair value changes, is included as a reduction of cost of goods sold in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income.
	At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, time deposits (with weighted-average interest rates of 8.45% and 8.95%, respectively) and LCs (including foreign exchange contracts) totaled $4,596 million and $3,048 million, respectively. In addition, at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the fair values of the time deposits (Level 2 measurements) totaled approximately $4,596 million and $3,048 million, respectively, and the fair values of the LCs (Level 2 measurements) totaled approximately $4,885 million and $3,024 million, respectively. The fair values approximate the carrying amounts of the related financial instruments due to their short-term nature. The fair values of the foreign exchange forward contracts (Level 2 measurements) are a gain of $289 million and a loss of $24 million at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.
	During the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, total proceeds from issuances of LCs were $7,702 million and $3,230 million, respectively. These cash inflows are offset by the related cash outflows resulting from placement of the time deposits and repayment of the LCs.

	9.                                      INCOME TAXES
	Income tax expense is provided on an interim basis based on management’s estimate of the annual effective income tax rate and includes the tax effects of certain discrete items, such as changes in tax laws or tax rates or other unusual or nonrecurring tax adjustments in the interim period in which they occur.  In addition, jurisdictions with a projected loss for the year or a year-to-date loss where no tax benefit can be recognized are excluded from the estimated annual effective tax rate. The effective tax rate is highly dependent on the geographic distribution of Bunge’s worldwide earnings or losses and tax regulations in each jurisdiction.  Management regularly monitors the assumptions used in estimating its annual effective tax rate and adjusts estimates accordingly.  If actual results differ from management’s estimates, reported income tax expense in future periods could be materially affected.
	For the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, income tax expense related to continuing operations was $702 million and $197 million, respectively. The increase in tax expense over the prior year results primarily from discrete tax items as discussed in the following paragraph.
	As a global enterprise, Bunge files income tax returns that are subject to periodic examination and challenge by federal, state and foreign tax authorities.  In many jurisdictions, income tax examinations, including settlement negotiations or litigation, may take several years to finalize.  While it is often difficult to predict the final outcome or timing of resolution of any particular matter, management believes that the condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the largest amount of tax benefit that will be more likely than not realized.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, Bunge increased its liability for uncertain tax positions by $19 million and recorded an income tax expense primarily as a result of recently published litigation precedents in Brazil. Of this amount, $22 million is included in income from continuing operations and $17 million is included in discontinued operations, net of tax.
	During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, Bunge recorded income tax expense of $496 million related to other discrete tax items including $464 million related to the recording of a full valuation allowance on deferred tax assets in its industrial sugar business in Brazil. Management’s establishment of a valuation allowance resulted from a combination of matters, including increasing cumulative book and tax net losses in the business (including financing costs), the absence of available independent evidence that such losses will not continue given Brazil’s existing energy policy, and the market environment and outlook for the industry and management’s intent to explore strategic options related to the future of this business.
	In 2013, the Brazilian tax authorities commenced an examination of the income tax return of one of Bunge’s Brazilian subsidiaries for the year 2009 and proposed adjustments totalling approximately $121 million plus applicable interest and penalties. Management, in consultation with external legal advisors, has reviewed and responded to the proposed adjustments and believes that it is more likely than not that it will prevail and therefore has not recorded any additional uncertain tax liability.
	During 2011, the Brazilian tax authorities commenced an examination of the income tax returns of one of Bunge’s Brazilian subsidiaries for the years 2005-2009 and proposed adjustments totaling approximately $160 million plus applicable interest and penalties. Management, in consultation with external legal advisors, has reviewed and responded to the proposed adjustments and believes that it is more likely than not that it will prevail and therefore has, apart from the above mentioned liability for uncertain tax positions related to the recently published litigation precedents, not recorded any additional uncertain tax liability.
	In 2010, the Brazilian tax authorities proposed certain significant adjustments to the income tax returns for one of Bunge’s Brazilian subsidiaries for the years 2005 to 2007. The proposed adjustments totaled approximately $525 million plus applicable interest and penalties. In late 2011, Bunge received a decision from the Tax Inspector that dismissed approximately $170 million of the claim against Bunge. Management is appealing the remainder of the case and has not changed its position that it is more likely than not that it will prevail and therefore has, apart from the above mentioned liability for uncertain tax positions related to the recently published litigation precedents, not recorded any additional uncertain tax liability.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS	'

	Bunge’s various financial instruments include certain components of working capital such as cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable and trade accounts payable.  Additionally, Bunge uses short and long-term debt to fund operating requirements.  Cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, trade accounts payable and short-term debt are stated at their carrying value, which is a reasonable estimate of fair value.  See Note 13 for deferred purchase price receivable (DPP) related to sales of trade receivables. See Note 8 for long-term receivables from farmers in Brazil, net and other long-term investments and Note 12 for long-term debt. Bunge’s financial instruments also include derivative instruments and marketable securities, which are stated at fair value.
	Fair value is the expected price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.  Bunge determines the fair values of its readily marketable inventories, derivatives, and certain other assets based on the fair value hierarchy established in ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.  Observable inputs are inputs based on market data obtained from sources independent of Bunge that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.  Unobservable inputs are inputs that are developed based on the best information available in circumstances that reflect Bunge’s own assumptions based on market data and on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.  The topic describes three levels within its hierarchy that may be used to measure fair value.
	Level 1:                Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.  Level 1 assets and liabilities include exchange traded derivative contracts.
	Level 2:                Observable inputs, including Level 1 prices (adjusted), quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are less active than traded exchanges and other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.  Level 2 assets and liabilities include readily marketable inventories and over-the-counter (OTC) commodity purchase and sale contracts and other OTC derivatives whose value is determined using pricing models with inputs that are generally based on exchange traded prices, adjusted for location specific inputs that are primarily observable in the market or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data.
	Level 3:                Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are a significant component of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.  In evaluating the significance of fair value inputs, Bunge gives consideration to items that individually or when aggregated with other inputs, generally represent more than 10% of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.  For such identified inputs which are primarily related to inland transportation costs, judgments are required when evaluating both quantitative and qualitative factors in the determination of significance for purposes of fair value level classification and disclosure.  Level 3 assets and liabilities include assets and liabilities whose value is determined using proprietary pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques; as well as, assets and liabilities for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation. Bunge believes a change in these inputs would not result in a significant change in the fair values.
	The majority of Bunge’s exchange traded agricultural commodity futures are settled daily generally through its clearing subsidiary and, therefore, such futures are not included in the table below.  Assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is a significant component of the fair value measurement.  The lowest level of input is considered Level 3.  Bunge’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the classification of fair value assets and liabilities within the fair value hierarchy levels. The following table sets forth, by level, Bunge’s assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis.

	(2)             Other assets include primarily the fair values of U.S. Treasury securities held as margin deposits and other marketable securities.
	(3)             Unrealized losses on designated and undesignated derivative contracts are generally included in other current liabilities.  There are no such amounts included in other non-current liabilities at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.
	Derivatives — Exchange traded futures and options contracts are valued based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets and are classified within Level 1.  Bunge’s forward commodity purchase and sale contracts are classified as derivatives along with other OTC derivative instruments relating primarily to freight, energy, foreign exchange and interest rates, and are classified within Level 2 or Level 3 as described below.  Bunge estimates fair values based on exchange quoted prices, adjusted as appropriate for differences in local markets.  These differences are generally valued using inputs from broker or dealer quotations, or market transactions in either the listed or OTC markets.  In such cases, these derivative contracts are classified within Level 2.  Changes in the fair values of these contracts are recognized in the condensed consolidated financial statements as a component of cost of goods sold, foreign exchange gains (losses), interest income (expense), other income (expense)-net or other comprehensive income (loss).
	OTC derivative contracts include swaps, options and structured transactions that are valued at fair value generally determined using quantitative models that require the use of multiple market inputs including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets which are not highly active, other observable inputs relevant to the asset or liability, and market inputs corroborated by correlation or other means.  These valuation models include inputs such as interest rates, prices and indices to generate continuous yield or pricing curves and volatility factors.  Where observable inputs are available for substantially the full term of the asset or liability, the instrument is categorized in Level 2.  Certain OTC derivatives trade in less active markets with less availability of pricing information and certain structured transactions can require internally developed model inputs that might not be observable in or corroborated by the market.  When unobservable inputs have a significant impact on the measurement of fair value, the instrument is categorized in Level 3.
	Bunge’s policy is to only classify exchange traded or cleared derivative contracts in Level 1, thus transfers of assets and liabilities into and/or out of Level 1 occur infrequently.  Transfers into Level 1 would generally only be expected to occur when an exchange cleared derivative contract historically valued using a valuation model as the result of a lack of observable inputs becomes sufficiently observable, resulting in the valuation price being essentially the exchange traded price.  There were no significant transfers into or out of Level 1 during the periods presented.
	Bunge may designate certain derivative instruments as either fair value hedges or cash flow hedges and assesses, both at inception of the hedge and on an ongoing basis, whether derivatives that are designated as hedges are highly effective in offsetting changes in the hedged items or anticipated cash flows.
	Readily marketable inventories — The majority of Bunge’s readily marketable commodity inventories are valued at fair value.  These agricultural commodity inventories are readily marketable, have quoted market prices and may be sold without significant additional processing.  Changes in the fair values of these inventories are recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of income as a component of cost of goods sold.
	Readily marketable inventories reported at fair value are valued based on commodity futures exchange quotations, broker or dealer quotations, or market transactions in either listed or OTC markets with appropriate adjustments for differences in local markets where Bunge’s inventories are located.  In such cases, the inventory is classified within Level 2.  Certain inventories may utilize significant unobservable data related to local market adjustments to determine fair value; in such cases, the inventory is classified as Level 3.
	If Bunge used different methods or factors to determine fair values, amounts reported as unrealized gains and losses on derivative contracts and readily marketable inventories at fair value in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and condensed consolidated statements of income could differ.  Additionally, if market conditions change subsequent to the reporting date, amounts reported in future periods as unrealized gains and losses on derivative contracts and readily marketable inventories at fair value in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and condensed consolidated statements of income could differ.
	Level 3 Valuation — Bunge’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the classification of assets and liabilities within the fair value hierarchy.  In evaluating the significance of fair value inputs, Bunge gives consideration to items that individually, or when aggregated with other inputs, represent more than 10% of the fair value of the asset or liability.  For such identified inputs, judgments are required when evaluating both quantitative and qualitative factors in the determination of significance for purposes of fair value level classification and disclosure.  Because of differences in the availability of market pricing data over their terms, inputs for some assets and liabilities may fall into any one of the three levels in the fair value hierarchy or some combination thereof.  While FASB guidance requires classification of these assets and liabilities in the lowest hierarchy level for which inputs are significant to the fair value measurement, a portion of that measurement may be determined using inputs from a higher hierarchy level.
	The significant unobservable inputs resulting in Level 3 classification relate to freight in the interior of Brazil and the lack of market corroborated information in Canada.  In both situations, Bunge uses proprietary information such as purchase and sale contracts and contracted prices for freight, premiums and discounts to value its contracts.  Movements in the price of these unobservable inputs alone would not have a material effect on Bunge’s financial statements as these contracts do not typically exceed one future crop cycle.
	Transfers in and/or out of Level 3 represent existing assets or liabilities that were either previously categorized as a higher level for which the inputs to the model became unobservable or assets and liabilities that were previously classified as Level 3 for which the lowest significant input became observable during the period. Bunge’s policy regarding the timing of transfers between levels is to record the transfers at the beginning of the reporting period.
	Level 3 Derivatives — Level 3 derivative instruments utilize both market observable and unobservable inputs within the fair value measurements.  These inputs include commodity prices, price volatility, interest rates, volumes and locations.  In addition, with the exception of the exchange cleared instruments, Bunge is exposed to loss in the event of the non-performance by counterparties on over-the-counter derivative instruments and forward purchase and sale contracts.  Adjustments are made to fair values on occasions when non-performance risk is determined to represent a significant input in Bunge’s fair value determination.  These adjustments are based on Bunge’s estimate of the potential loss in the event of counterparty non-performance. Bunge did not have significant adjustments related to non-performance by counterparties at September 30, 2013.
	Level 3 Readily marketable inventories — Readily marketable inventories are considered Level 3 when at least one significant assumption or input is unobservable.  These assumptions or unobservable inputs include certain management estimations regarding costs of transportation and other local market or location-related adjustments.
	The tables below present reconciliations for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) during the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.  Level 3 instruments presented below include readily marketable inventories and derivatives.  These instruments were valued using pricing models that management believes reflect assumptions that would be used by a marketplace participant.

Derivative Instruments
Interest rate derivatives — Interest rate swaps used by Bunge as hedging instruments are recorded at fair value in the condensed consolidated balance sheets with changes in fair value recorded contemporaneously in earnings.  Certain of these swap agreements may be designated as fair value hedges.  The carrying amount of the associated hedged debt is also adjusted through earnings for changes in the fair value arising from changes in benchmark interest rates.  Ineffectiveness is recognized to the extent that these two adjustments do not offset.  Bunge may enter into interest rate swap agreements for the purpose of managing certain of its interest rate exposures.  Bunge may also enter into interest rate basis swap agreements that do not qualify as hedges for accounting purposes.  Changes in fair value of such interest rate basis swap agreements are recorded in earnings.
Foreign exchange derivatives — Bunge uses a combination of foreign exchange forward, swap and option contracts in certain of its operations to mitigate the risk from exchange rate fluctuations in connection with certain commercial and balance sheet exposures.  The foreign exchange forward and option contracts may be designated as cash flow hedges.  Bunge may also use net investment hedges to partially offset the translation adjustments arising from the remeasurement of its investment in certain of its foreign subsidiaries.
Bunge assesses, both at the inception of the hedge and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivatives that are used in hedge transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in the hedged items.
The table below summarizes the notional amounts of open foreign exchange positions.

(2)             Non-exchange traded swaps, options and forwards are presented on a gross (short) and long position basis.
Commodity derivatives — Bunge uses derivative instruments to manage its exposure to movements associated with agricultural commodity prices.  Bunge generally uses exchange traded futures and options contracts to minimize the effects of changes in the prices of agricultural commodities on its agricultural commodity inventories and forward purchase and sale contracts, but may also from time to time enter into OTC commodity transactions, including swaps, which are settled in cash at maturity or termination based on exchange-quoted futures prices.  Changes in fair values of exchange traded futures contracts representing the unrealized gains and/or losses on these instruments are settled daily generally through Bunge’s wholly-owned futures clearing subsidiary.  Forward purchase and sale contracts are primarily settled through delivery of agricultural commodities.  While Bunge considers these exchange traded futures and forward purchase and sale contracts to be effective economic hedges, Bunge does not designate or account for the majority of its commodity contracts as hedges.  Changes in fair values of these contracts and related readily marketable agricultural commodity inventories are included in cost of goods sold in the condensed consolidated statements of income.  The forward contracts require performance of both Bunge and the contract counterparty in future periods.  Contracts to purchase agricultural commodities generally relate to current or future crop years for delivery periods quoted by regulated commodity exchanges.  Contracts for the sale of agricultural commodities generally do not extend beyond one future crop cycle.
The table below summarizes the volumes of open agricultural commodities derivative positions.

Ocean freight derivatives — Bunge uses derivative instruments referred to as freight forward agreements, or FFAs, and FFA options, to hedge portions of its current and anticipated ocean freight costs.  Changes in the fair value of the ocean freight derivatives that are qualified, designated and highly effective as a fair value hedge, along with the gain or loss on the hedged firm commitments to purchase time on ocean freight vessels that is attributable to the hedged risk, are recorded in earnings.  Changes in the fair values of ocean freight derivatives that are not designated as hedges are also recorded in earnings.

On May 30, 2013, Bunge entered into an unsecured $665 million five-year syndicated revolving credit agreement with CoBank, ACB, as administrative agent and certain lenders party thereto. Under the terms of the agreement, the Lenders will initially make available up to $368 million of loans, which will increase to $665 million in December 2013 concurrent with the scheduled repayment in full of Bunge’s obligations under an existing term loan facility under which $300 million of principal amount remains outstanding.  Borrowings under the revolving credit agreement will bear interest at LIBOR plus a margin, which will vary between 1.050% and 1.675% per annum, based on the credit ratings of our long-term senior unsecured debt.  Amounts under the revolving credit agreement that remain undrawn are subject to a commitment fee at rates ranging from 0.125% to 0.275% per annum based likewise on the ratings of our long-term senior unsecured debt.

On June 24, 2013, Bunge entered into an unsecured $200 million three-year revolving credit agreement with a certain lender.  Borrowings under the credit agreement bear interest at LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 0.90% to 1.55%, based on the credit ratings of our long-term senior unsecured debt. Amounts under the credit agreement that remain undrawn are subject to a commitment fee at a rate of 0.25%.

Bunge’s commercial paper program is supported by an identical amount of committed back-up bank credit lines (the Liquidity Facility) provided by banks that are rated at least A-1 by Standard & Poor’s Financial Services and P-1 by Moody’s Investors Service.  In January 2013, Bunge agreed with the Liquidity Facility banks for the amount of aggregate commitments under the Liquidity Facility to be increased from $526 million to $600 million, and simultaneously increased the size of its commercial paper program to $600 million. The Liquidity Facility, which matures in November 2016, permits Bunge, at its option, to set up direct borrowings or issue commercial paper.  The cost of borrowing under the Liquidity Facility would typically be higher than the cost of borrowing under Bunge’s commercial paper program.  At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, there were no borrowings outstanding under the commercial paper program and the Liquidity Facility.

The fair value of Bunge’s long-term debt is based on interest rates currently available on comparable maturities to companies with credit standing similar to that of Bunge.  The carrying amounts and fair value of long-term debt are as follows:

TRADE RECEIVABLES SECURITIZATION PROGRAM	'
TRADE RECEIVABLES SECURITIZATION PROGRAM	'
	13.                               TRADE RECEIVABLESSECURITIZATION PROGRAM
	Bunge accounts for its trade receivables securitization program (the Program) under the provisions of ASC Topic 860, Transfers and Servicing.  The securitization program terminates on June 1, 2016.  However, each committed purchaser’s commitment to fund trade receivables sold under the securitization program will terminate on May 28, 2014 unless extended for additional 364-day periods in accordance with the terms of the receivables transfer agreement.
	At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, $759 million and $772 million, respectively, of receivables sold under the Program were derecognized from Bunge’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.  Proceeds received in cash related to transfers of receivables under the program totaled $9,126 million and $9,727 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.  In addition, cash collections from customers on receivables previously sold were $9,240 million and $9,886 million, respectively.  As this is a revolving facility, cash collections from customers are reinvested to fund new receivable sales.  Gross receivables sold under the program for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 were $9,285 million and $9,921 million, respectively.  These sales resulted in discounts of $2 million and $6 million for the three and nine month periods, respectively, ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, which were included in SG&A in the condensed consolidated statements of income.  Servicing fees under the program were not significant in any period.
	Bunge’s risk of loss following the sale of the accounts receivable is limited to the deferred purchase price receivable, which at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, had a fair value of $104 million and $134 million respectively, and is included in other current assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets (see Note 7).  The deferred purchase price will be repaid in cash as receivables are collected, generally within 30 days.  Delinquencies and credit losses on accounts receivable sold under the program during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 were insignificant.  Bunge has reflected all cash flows under the securitization program as operating cash flows in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.

	Bunge is party to a large number of claims and lawsuits, primarily tax and labor claims in Brazil and tax claims in Argentina, arising in the normal course of business. The ability to predict the ultimate outcome of such matters involves judgments, estimates and inherent uncertainties. Bunge records liabilities related to its general claims and lawsuits when the exposure item becomes probable and can be reasonably estimated. The range of possible losses for such matters cannot be reasonably estimated and could differ materially from amounts already accrued by the Company. After taking into account the recorded liabilities for these matters, management believes that the ultimate resolution of such matters will not have a material effect on Bunge’s financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. Included in other non-current liabilities at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 are the following amounts related to these matters:
		September 30,		December 31,
	(US$ in millions)	2013		2012
	Tax claims	$	63	$	70
	Labor claims	79		75
	Civil and other claims	101		109
	Total	$	243	$	254
	Tax claims — The tax claims relate principally to claims against Bunge’s Brazilian subsidiaries, primarily value-added tax claims (ICMS, IPI, PIS and COFINS). The determination of the manner in which various Brazilian federal, state and municipal taxes apply to the operations of Bunge is subject to varying interpretations arising from the complex nature of Brazilian tax law. Bunge monitors the Brazilian federal and state governments’ responses to recent Brazilian Supreme Court decisions invalidating certain ICMS incentives and benefits granted by various states on constitutional grounds. While Bunge was not a recipient of any of the incentives and benefits that were the subject of the Supreme Court decisions, it has received certain similar tax incentives and benefits. Bunge has not received any tax assessment related to the validity of ICMS incentives or benefits it has received and, based on its assessment of the matter under the provisions of GAAP, no liability has been recorded in the condensed consolidated financial statements.
	The Argentine tax authorities have been conducting a review of income and other taxes paid by exporters and processors of cereals and other agricultural commodities in the country. In that regard, in October 2010, the Argentine tax authorities carried out inspections at several of Bunge’s locations in Argentina relating to allegations of income tax evasion covering the periods from 2007 to 2009. In December 2012, Bunge’s Argentine subsidiary received an income tax assessment relating to fiscal years 2006 and 2007 with a claim of approximately 436 million pesos (approximately $75 million as of September 30, 2013), plus previously accrued interest on the outstanding amount due of approximately 711 million pesos (approximately $123 million as of September 30, 2013). Bunge’s Argentine subsidiary has appealed this assessment before the National Tax Court. Fiscal years 2008 and 2009 are currently being audited by the tax authorities. It is likely that the tax authorities will also audit fiscal years 2010-2012, although no notice has been rendered to Bunge’s Argentine subsidiary. Additionally, in April 2011, the Argentine tax authorities conducted inspections of Bunge’s locations and those of several other grain exporters with respect to allegations of evasion of liability for value-added taxes and an inquest proceeding has been initiated in the first quarter of 2012 to determine whether there is any potential criminal culpability relating to these matters. Also during 2011, Bunge paid $112 million of accrued export tax obligations in Argentina under protest while reserving all of its rights in respect of such payment. In the first quarter of 2012, the Argentine tax authorities assessed interest on these paid export taxes, which as of September 30, 2013, would total approximately $140 million. Additionally, in April 2012, the Argentine government suspended Bunge’s Argentine subsidiary from a registry of grain traders and, in October 2012, the government excluded Bunge’s subsidiary from this registry in connection with the income tax allegations. These actions primarily result in additional administrative requirements and increased logistical costs on domestic grain shipments within Argentina. While the suspension and exclusion have not had a material adverse effect on Bunge’s business in Argentina, Bunge is challenging the exclusion from the grain registry in the Argentine courts. Management believes that these tax-related allegations and claims are without merit and intends to vigorously defend against them. However, management is, at this time, unable to predict their outcome.
	In December, 2012, the Brazilian tax authorities concluded an examination of the PIS COFINS tax returns of one of Bunge’s Brazilian subsidiaries for the years 2004-2007 and proposed adjustments totaling approximately $140 million plus applicable interest and penalties. Management, in consultation with external legal advisors, has reviewed and responded to the proposed adjustments. In conjunction with this review, management has established appropriate reserves for potential exposures.
	Labor claims — The labor claims relate principally to claims against Bunge’s Brazilian subsidiaries. The labor claims primarily relate to dismissals, severance, health and safety, salary adjustments and supplementary retirement benefits.
	Civil and other — The civil and other claims relate to various disputes with third parties, including suppliers and customers.
	Guarantees — Bunge has issued or was a party to the following guarantees at September 30, 2013:
		Maximum
		Potential
		Future
	(US$ in millions)	Payments
	Customer financing (1)	$	12
	Unconsolidated affiliates financing (2)	47
	Residual value guarantee (3)	69
	Total	$	128
	(1)             Bunge has issued guarantees to third parties in Brazil related to amounts owed to these third parties by certain of Bunge’s customers.  The terms of the guarantees are equal to the terms of the related financing arrangements, which are generally one year or less, with the exception of guarantees issued under certain Brazilian government programs, primarily from 2006 and 2007, where terms are up to five years.  In the event that the customers default on their payments to the third parties and Bunge would be required to perform under the guarantees, Bunge has obtained collateral from the customers.  At September 30, 2013, Bunge had approximately $10 million of tangible property that had been pledged to Bunge as collateral against certain of these financing arrangements.  Bunge evaluates the likelihood of customer repayments of the amounts due under these guarantees based upon a historical loss analysis and records the value of such guarantees as an obligation in its condensed consolidated financial statements.  Bunge’s recorded obligation related to these outstanding guarantees was $2 million at September 30, 2013.
	(2)             Bunge issued guarantees to certain financial institutions related to debt of certain of its unconsolidated joint ventures.  The terms of the guarantees are equal to the terms of the related financings which have maturity dates in 2014 through 2017.  There are no recourse provisions or collateral that would enable Bunge to recover any amounts paid under these guarantees.  At September 30, 2013, Bunge had no outstanding recorded obligation related to these guarantees.
	(3)             Bunge issued guarantees to certain financial institutions which are party to certain operating lease arrangements for railcars and barges. These guarantees provide for a minimum residual value to be received by the lessor at conclusion of the lease term. These leases expire in 2016. At September 30, 2013, Bunge’s recorded obligation related to these guarantees was $4 million.
	In addition, Bunge Limited has provided full and unconditional parent level guarantees of the indebtedness outstanding under certain senior credit facilities and senior notes entered into, or issued by, its 100% owned subsidiaries.  At September 30, 2013, Bunge’s condensed consolidated balance sheet includes debt with a carrying amount of $4,207 million related to these guarantees.  This debt includes the senior notes issued by two of Bunge’s 100% owned finance subsidiaries, Bunge Limited Finance Corp. and Bunge N.A. Finance L.P.  There are no significant restrictions on the ability of Bunge Limited Finance Corp., Bunge N.A. Finance L.P. or any other Bunge subsidiary to transfer funds to Bunge Limited.

	Bunge has five reportable segments—agribusiness, sugar and bioenergy, edible oil products, milling products and fertilizer—which are organized based upon similar economic characteristics and are similar in nature of products and services offered, the nature of production processes, the type and class of customer and distribution methods. The agribusiness segment is characterized by both inputs and outputs being agricultural commodities and thus high volume and low margin. The sugar and bioenergy segment involves sugarcane growing and milling in Brazil, sugar merchandising in various countries, as well as sugarcane-based ethanol production and corn-based ethanol investments and related activities. The edible oil products segment involves the manufacturing and marketing of products derived from vegetable oils. The milling products segment involves the manufacturing and marketing of products derived primarily from wheat and corn. Following the classification of the Brazilian fertilizer distribution and North American fertilizer businesses as discontinued operations (see Note 4), the activities of the fertilizer segment include its port operations in Brazil, its operations in Argentina and Bunge’s 50% equity interest in a Morocco joint venture. On September 5, 2013 Bunge and OCP Group have reached an agreement for OCP to acquire Bunge’s 50% ownership interest in our Moroccan fertilizer joint venture.
	The “Discontinued Operations & Unallocated” column in the following table contains the reconciliation between the totals for reportable segments and Bunge consolidated totals, which consist primarily of amounts attributable to discontinued operations, corporate items not allocated to the operating segments and inter-segment eliminations. Transfers between the segments are generally valued at market. The revenues generated from these transfers are shown in the following table as “Inter-segment revenues segments or inter-segment eliminations.”

BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION	'
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation	'
	BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
	The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Bunge Limited (Bunge), its subsidiaries and variable interest entities (VIEs) in which it is considered the primary beneficiary, and as a result, include the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of all entities over which Bunge exercises control. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act).  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) rules. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2012 has been derived from Bunge’s audited consolidated financial statements at that date.  Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2013.  The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2012, forming part of Bunge’s 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 1, 2013.
	Equity investments in which Bunge has the ability to exercise significant influence but does not control are accounted for by the equity method of accounting. Investments in which Bunge does not exercise significant influence are accounted for by the cost method of accounting. Intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated. Bunge consolidates VIEs in which it is considered the primary beneficiary and reconsiders such conclusion at each reporting period. An enterprise is determined to be the primary beneficiary if it has a controlling financial interest under GAAP, defined as (a) the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s business and (b) the obligation to absorb losses of or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE’s operations. Performance of that analysis requires the exercise of judgment. Where Bunge has an interest in an entity that has qualified for the deferral of the consolidation rules, it follows consolidation rules prior to January 1, 2010. Bunge’s consolidated financial statements include certain private equity and other investment funds (the consolidated funds) related to an asset management business acquired in 2012.  The consolidated funds are, for GAAP purposes, investment companies and therefore are not required to consolidate their majority owned and controlled investments. Rather, Bunge reflects these investments at fair value. In addition, certain of these consolidated funds have limited partner investors with investments in the form of equity, which are accounted for as noncontrolling interests and investments in the form of debt for which Bunge has elected the fair value option.
	Noncontrolling interests related to Bunge’s ownership of less than 100% are reported as noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The noncontrolling interests in Bunge’s earnings, net of tax, are reported as net (income) loss attributable to noncontrolling interests in the condensed consolidated statements of income.
Discontinued Operations	'
	Discontinued Operations — In determining whether a group of assets disposed (or to be disposed) of should be presented as discontinued operations, Bunge makes a determination of whether the group of assets being disposed of comprises a component of the entity; that is, whether it has historical operations and cash flows that can be clearly distinguished (both operationally and for financial reporting purposes). Bunge also determines whether the cash flows associated with the group of assets have been significantly (or will be significantly) eliminated from the ongoing operations of Bunge as a result of the disposal transaction and whether Bunge has no significant continuing involvement in the operations of the group of assets after the disposal transaction. If these determinations can be made affirmatively, the results of operations of the group of assets being disposed of (as well as any gain or loss on the disposal transaction) are aggregated for separate presentation apart from the continuing operations of the Company for all periods presented in the condensed consolidated financial statements (see Note 4).

Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements	'
	Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements — In December 2011 and January 2013, Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) amended the guidance in ASC Topic 210, Balance Sheet. This amendment requires an entity to disclose both gross and net information about financial instruments that are eligible for offset in the statement of financial position and/or subject to a master netting arrangement or similar agreement. Bunge’s derivative assets and liabilities are presented on a gross basis in its condensed consolidated balance sheets. The adoption of this amendment on January 1, 2013 did not have a significant impact on Bunge’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
	In February 2013, FASB amended the guidance in ASC Topic 220, Comprehensive Income. This amendment requires an entity to disclose on a prospective basis the impact on income statement line items for significant items reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income during the period. The adoption of this amendment expanded Bunge’s disclosures in its condensed consolidated financial statements.
	New Accounting Pronouncements — In March 2013, FASB amended existing guidance of ASC Topic 830, Foreign Currency Matters  (Topic 830). This amended guidance is related to the transfer of currency translation adjustments from other comprehensive income into net income in certain circumstances. The amended guidance aims to resolve diversity in practice as to whether ASC Topic 810, Consolidation  or Topic 830 applies to the release of the cumulative translation adjustment into net income when a parent either sells a part or all of its investment in a foreign entity, or no longer holds a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets that is a nonprofit activity or a business.  Bunge will be required to apply the amended guidance prospectively.  The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on Bunge’s consolidated financial statements.
	In July 2013, the FASB issued guidance in ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes (Topic 740).  Topic 740 provided guidance regarding the presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exist at the reporting date. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on Bunge’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

	(1)             Bunge has issued guarantees to third parties in Brazil related to amounts owed to these third parties by certain of Bunge’s customers.  The terms of the guarantees are equal to the terms of the related financing arrangements, which are generally one year or less, with the exception of guarantees issued under certain Brazilian government programs, primarily from 2006 and 2007, where terms are up to five years.  In the event that the customers default on their payments to the third parties and Bunge would be required to perform under the guarantees, Bunge has obtained collateral from the customers.  At September 30, 2013, Bunge had approximately $10 million of tangible property that had been pledged to Bunge as collateral against certain of these financing arrangements.  Bunge evaluates the likelihood of customer repayments of the amounts due under these guarantees based upon a historical loss analysis and records the value of such guarantees as an obligation in its condensed consolidated financial statements.  Bunge’s recorded obligation related to these outstanding guarantees was $2 million at September 30, 2013.
	(2)             Bunge issued guarantees to certain financial institutions related to debt of certain of its unconsolidated joint ventures.  The terms of the guarantees are equal to the terms of the related financings which have maturity dates in 2014 through 2017.  There are no recourse provisions or collateral that would enable Bunge to recover any amounts paid under these guarantees.  At September 30, 2013, Bunge had no outstanding recorded obligation related to these guarantees.
	(3)             Bunge issued guarantees to certain financial institutions which are party to certain operating lease arrangements for railcars and barges. These guarantees provide for a minimum residual value to be received by the lessor at conclusion of the lease term. These leases expire in 2016. At September 30, 2013, Bunge’s recorded obligation related to these guarantees was $4 million.

	(1)             Includes noncontrolling interests share of interest and tax to reconcile to consolidated noncontrolling interest.
	(2)             Total segment earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) is an operating performance measure used by Bunge’s management to evaluate segment operating activities.  Bunge’s management believes total segment EBIT is a useful measure of operating profitability, since the measure allows for an evaluation of the performance of its segments without regard to its financing methods or capital structure.  In addition, EBIT is a financial measure that is widely used by analysts and investors in Bunge’s industries.
	(3)             Represents net income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax including Bunge’s 2013 third quarter sale of its Brazilian fertilizer distribution business and recognized a pre-tax gain of $148 million on this transaction (see Note 4).
